Well Koh Tao has only got better.  I met up with the girls, and we then stormed the bars with buckets, getting a cigarette burn in the process!got in at about 2am, even though i had to be up at 8.30 and just crashed, great night though! Got up and did some theory work, and then in the afternoon got in the pool to start the diving fun.  I was definitley not a natural put it that way, although now i can look back on my thoughts of "oh my god i'm going to die" with a smile.  Went out again on the nights with the girls, this time to a party along the coast at a place called Babyloo.  There were fire throwers, cushions on the beach, a dance floor and a pool table-add a few drinks and you get a bunch of very happy,danced-out girls! Waltzed in around 3.30am, even though again i was up for 8.30am, and still managed to hold my head up for my theory classes!  Afterwards we went out and did our first dive in the sea! I couldnt believe there was fish, i was so shocked (i know that sounds stupid) was like a fish tank down there, the water is hot and green as anything, it is a paradise! I didnt freak out quite so much either.  That night was much of the same, with some dancing in the sea, on tables and a wee bit of drinking.  The following day was two dives, and i passed my theory exam (this is a miracle considering i was nearly asleep when i did the test) Next day was a 7.30am start, and the last 2 dives before i qualified.  They brought a camera man along aswell so all the fun and games have been recorded.  I mastered underwater kissing and then taking my bikini top off underwater (18m deep!!) dont worry though, my modesty was kept with the wetsuit.  Watched the video later on, died laughing it was so good, and i got cheered for the bikini part-apparently its not been done before!  Partied a little with the group before turning in, all the diving has really knackered me out!  Today i am lying on a beach in the sunshine to aid my tan (it is coming along) and then have some food before i pack my bags up for Ko Phangnan tomorrow (full moon party here i come!!)

My bikini likes being taken off underwater!

It's funny, you are diving in a nice warm sea trying to find Nemo and I had a snow day today - My University was canceled for the first time in 12 years! It was a Blizzard! Anyway keep up the tanning and maybe you'll ALMOST be as tan as I am Naturally ^_^
